Heh, the issue is more that Sony is using the ProgramData directory in an unintended fashion. Program Files is locked down so that a program can't modify itself or other programs similarly protected (for instance, to prevent malware from modifying the behavior or other programs). Programs are supposed to use ProgramData as a modifiable location for settings, etc. If you are familiar with linux, it is analogous to how sudo or root is needed to do just about anything outside of your home directory.
As to you other folks having difficulty saving it... see above. Program Files is locked down. Either kill UAC, take ownership of Program Files, or run the program you are using to edit with 'as administrator'.
